Wayside detection systems for Rolling stock• Wheel Impact Load Detection System

– An automated system for detection of excessive impact load due to wheel defects.

• As the Train passes over the instrumented rail, data is collected and sent to the system in real time.

• The data collected is tested, all extraneous noise removed and the pure raw data analysed.

•Trackside Bogie Monitoring System

–Monitor the condition of bogie by measuring lateral force, vertical force, angle of attack and tracking error

–Dragging equipment detector for detecting loosely hanging parts

•Sensors for detecting Hot boxes, Hot Wheels

–Use Infrared sensing techniques to identify

•Axle-boxes running hot due to bearing failure

•Wheels having abnormally high temperatures due to brake-binding.

Wayside detection systems for Rolling stock

…Static Asset Monitoring• Monitoring of Fixed Assets� SCADA for OHE installations:

� Online monitoring of circuit breakers, relays, etc installed at remote substations is being done.

� Oscillation Monitoring System:� monitor the quality of Track through

ride-index & acceleration measured on vehicle floor near Centre Pivot

� Track Recording & OHE Maintenance Cars:� Track & OHE parameters recorded

can be correlated to the location using GPS.

� Rail Fracture Detection System:� Changes in Stress levels are sent

using wireless communication to Central server. Research Designs & Standards Organisation

…Static Asset Monitoring• Monitoring of Fixed Assets� Scour monitoring using Time Domain Reflectometry� Continuous Bridge health monitoring system: � For the static response, the aim is to:

– Control the maximum strain and stresses– Verify cracking, if any– Report strain changes, both during construction and during service

� For the dynamic response, the aim is to:– Evaluate the fundamental frequencies, modes and damping ratios– Evaluate the dynamic effects of trains crossing the bridge– Evaluate the long-term changes in the bridge’s dynamic properties.
